Clearly it's up to how we perform on Saturday, but this is a blow for them. Sounds very nasty, but anyone at both games with NFU won't be surprised.

But I would walk 100 along the Great Wall of China for the Alzheimers Society. If you've got a few quid spare you'd earmarked for a Mickleover Sports enamel badge you could always follow the link below. Cheers!

PS I've paid my way over there etc, all money raised goes to The Alzheimer's Society.

The New Saints' chairman Mike Harris says "The Welsh Cup and the FA Cup have similar status, both get into Europe. I don't quite see the English system as a higher platform, I see it as an equal platform, but with a bigger population and bigger crowds... We've clearly stated we have no interest in the English place in Europe should we win the competition... just like we hope that the FAW wouldn't give one of our cherished places to an English-playing club if they were to win the Welsh Cup'".

Quality stuff 

Workington v Biship's Stortford

all 22 players, plus both benches and members of the 377-strong crowd get involved in the melee

Acceptable use: ironic reference to Conf North in the vein of ex league club fans' view of Conference Premier.
Unacceptable use: e.g. "losing a 2 goal lead in this tinpot league". A league which is almost completely part-time (like us), where most gates are sub 1,000 (like us), where teams can recruit players who play not just for the cash and get results through hard work and organisation (like us in the league above for the past 5 years).

Sluggish start and plenty for the mangement to work on, but hardly panic stations. Still think we've every chance of a good season.

Maybe its the creeping insomnia, but having looked at the results since GH departed and news of tonight's fighting display which was so absent at Blyth, I'm suddenly feeling all optimistic. Even if you include that Eastbourne game, I make Ken's League record as P17 W5 D6 L6 Pts 21. That works out at about 1.24 points per game, which, if averaged out across a full 46 game season would total 57 points - good enough for a respectable lower mid table finish. I'm not suggesting we'll hit the heady heights of 14th or 15th, but statistically at least, we've been showing that type of form since mid September.

Right more sums to do to try and get to sleep..

A Godfrey Abbot supporters coach leaves the Vine at 13:50 at an average speed of 55 mph on the way to Chorley and gets lost in roadworks for 35 mins, at what time does it arrive at Victory Park? Assuming Hugh Cooper arrived at kick off (3pm), by the time the coach arrives how many laps of the perimeter fence has he circumvented whilst being pushed in a shopping trolley at 8 mph? Multiply this sum by the number of cans consumed by Rocky Robin on his journey from Liverpool Street to Cheshunt (journey time 25 mins, allow additional 5 mins for general unpleasantness at Tottenham Hale, RR's cannage rate 1 per 5.8 miles). 

Overnight snow here in poncey Jesmond - about 2 miles North of the Heed. Forecast 4 deg C max later today, same as yesterday when overnight  snow melted so game should be ok. Snow showers later on this evening so be careful on the way home everyone.

The Alty players' reactions following the third goal was absolutely disgusting. At the end of the night I found myself drawing comparisons between them and Manchester United.

Cheers djfdj, thanks for that. Reminds me of a Barnet fan in the 80s who 'insulted' us by exclaiming "you wear AC Milan's kit and you play like them" - Van, Basten, Gullitt, Kilner....
